Pine nuts by Eric Schweizer
A natural treat for parrots and larger parakeets: Swiss stone pines are oily, energy-rich nuts for cracking, searching for and playing with – in a handy 400 g bag.
Pine nuts from Eric Schweizer are a high-quality natural snack for pet birds and parrots. These nutritious nuts are ideal as a special treat, as a supplement to their daily diet or to provide meaningful enrichment.
Pine nuts are oily and energy-rich. That is why they are very popular with many larger parakeets and parrots. Cracking and working with the nuts also encourages natural foraging behaviour. Intelligent bird species in particular benefit from food that must be actively worked for, rather than simply eaten.
Their size makes pine nuts very versatile. They can be offered individually as a treat, hidden in enrichment toys or used specifically as a training reward.

Offer pine nuts as a supplement to their main diet and not as a sole source of food. As nuts are very high in energy, they should be fed sparingly and in accordance with the bird’s species. Always provide your birds with fresh drinking water.
Zoo Roco Tip
Hide individual pine nuts in suitable enrichment toys or in a feeding box. This turns the snack into a little challenge that stimulates parrots and parakeets mentally and adds variety to their daily routine.
